Community Feedback

The purpose of community engagement was to ensure stakeholders were aware of the project and the proposed concept plan to upgrade the gateways into Ramsay Place improving wayfinding, lighting and the appearance, and to also understand any local issues that should be considered throughout design.

Information about the project and engagement was available on the Your Say website, including visual representations of the draft concept plan and a survey for participants to provide feedback on the draft plan. Emails were sent to 1,971 registered recipients with an interest in either Noarlunga Centre, community and sporting facilities, and/or business and the economy.

During the engagement period, the Your Say website received a total of 269 visits that resulted in 38 people downloading the draft concept plan, and nineteen participants answering the survey questions and/or providing online feedback.
